🚀Riot Platforms, a top crypto mining company, is looking to acquire Bitfarms, another major player in the Bitcoin mining scene. Despite Bitfarms' board turning down the offer, Riot is pushing forward with a public takeover offer.

💰Riot's proposed deal values Bitfarms at around $950 million, aiming to create the world's largest Bitcoin miner. The combined power capacity would be a whopping 1 gigawatt, with a mining capacity of 19.6 exahashes per second.

🌐The merger would result in 15 facilities spread across the US, Canada, Paraguay, and Argentina. Riot's strong financial standing, with over $700 million in cash and minimal debt, is expected to support Bitfarms' growth and provide better access to equity markets.

🔥This comes at a crucial time for the Bitcoin mining industry, which is seeing rapid consolidation post-halving. The halving event has posed revenue challenges for miners, pushing larger companies to seek mergers and acquisitions for a competitive edge.
